25 years would be July 7, 2017. I guess they figured they won't be on the road in July so they'll celebrate it earlier. Regardless, I wish I was heading to one of those shows. I will definitely get a bootleg of it. With the advanced notice, hopefully someone will plan to video tape it.

I know this is going to be blasphemy to some, but do you guys think they should tune their instruments down to make James' life easier? Or maybe even do an alternate arrangement of some of the trickier songs? As boss as James is, most of the I&W tracks are impossible to sing for 20 year-olds, let alone 50 year-olds.

I'd rather JLB alter the melodies to suit. Better to just have the vocals wrong than the entire song wrong.

Time to brag: I could go all snob on this and say "Eh, been there, done that"

I actually witnessed DT perform I&W in its entirety, back in 2007 for the 15th anniversary. It was the Gods of Metal festival, DT were second on the bill behind Heaven and Hell, and they started the show with Pull Me Under; nothing strange there, it was a festival, probably a best of setlist, it's only normal to start with your most famous song.

Then James after the song explained the anniversary, and the moment he announced they were performing the whole album, well, do I need to tell you the reaction of the crowd?

And for the record - he totally nailed the high note in Learning to Live

I will HAVE to see that. Very thrilled.First thing that came to my mind was also that James might not be able to sing that stuff, especially for a whole tour. I wouldn't mind if they played the whole thing a bit lower.

It would be cool to have Don't Look Past Me thrown in, but the only guy who probably even remembers the song exists is not in the band since 2010.

A Change of Seasons as encore would be the icing on the cake I wonder if they will start or finish with Images and Words, maybe for James' voice it would be better to play it right away rather than having it in the second set.
